Ahhh~ I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. Our great Raiden Shogun, Yae Miko, thought that this sister-con's eyes only held Raiden Makoto or battle, but she didn't expect her to be able to accommodate another presence, and one that occupied a significant position.
Perhaps Ei herself hadn't seen the problem, but Yae Miko, as the editor-in-chief of Yae Publishing House, had read too many related descriptions. Although she herself had never been in love, she hadn't eaten pork, but hadn't she seen a pig run?
That person was clearly already infatuated. Durandal's importance in her heart might already be greater than Raiden Makoto's.
"Oh, by the way, Ei told me that if possible, she hopes you can also send a clone to the Plane of Euthymia to teach her how to handle state affairs."
"Ability to handle state affairs? When did this happen?"
When did Miss Delezie specifically send a clone to teach Raiden Ei these things? How did they not know?
"It was the last time she came to me asking when Raiden Makoto would wake up. Originally, I wanted to punish her through combat, but combat isn't a punishment for her at all. So I changed my approach: I had Raiden Shogun bring over some state affairs every day and made Raiden Ei handle them personally."
Lumine nodded. For warriors, combat is not punishment. Even against opponents with vastly different strengths, as long as they can grow in battle, it's enjoyable for them.
In comparison, handling state affairs was far less interesting. Miss Delezie's method of dealing with Raiden Ei was quite effective.
It's just... this was clearly a punishment, so why did she specifically ask Yae Miko this time to beg Miss Delezie to send a clone over again?
"Because while she was handling state affairs, the clone would make some desserts to Reward her. That girl is just like a child; without Rewards, she has no motivation to handle state affairs, and no amount of coercion works."
I really don't know how to describe that girl. I did some things specifically to make her more childlike, but how did she end up getting fixated on it?
"There's nothing to be done. Although I often bring her some tricolor dango or wagashi, she'll get tired of those too. You make her the freshest desserts every day, which are not only delicious but also especially novel. Of course, she can't resist."
Lumine nodded. Paimon, beside her, pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized and exclaimed, "I get it, Lumine! She wants Miss Delezie to be her personal chef! To make her desserts every day, right?"
Hmm, a quite accurate deduction, but this only accounts for a small part of the reason. Raiden Ei's true reason for wanting Miss Delezie to go there wasn't this.
However, this reason is enough to fool them. Even Miss Delezie wouldn't think of such a thing. If this truth is kept hidden, it will become very interesting when it's revealed in the future.
"If you agree, you can get a lot of Rewards. Anyway, for you, it's just sending a clone over, no big deal, right?"
"Do you think I'm short on money? Do you believe I could buy the Yae Publishing House right now and make you, the editor-in-chief, work for me? I'd arrange tons of light novels for you to read every day until you puke."
"Hmm~ I don't think that's very likely, Miss Delezie. I have no intention of selling Yae Publishing House."
"Trust me, you will sell it."
Miss Delezie showed a mischievous smile. What if Yae Miko didn't want to sell Yae Publishing House? She had many ways to make Yae Miko give up her position as boss, or even give it to her for free.
Good heavens, Yae Miko realized that Miss Delezie intended to forcibly grab her hand and make her put her fingerprint on the contract.
This was a common business tactic, but because of Yae Miko's status, no one had ever dared to do such a thing to her. But Miss Delezie didn't care about any of that; if Yae Miko dared to court death, she would do it.
"...I surrender. I won't be Ei's spokesperson anymore. Please let me go."
"Do you realize your mistake?"
"Yes, I have personally experienced my mistake."
How infuriating! Is there really no way to suppress her? Yae Miko felt a bit unwilling. Couldn't she find Miss Delezie's weakness and bully her in return?
No, she still had the Ei card. As long as she could use this card well, she would have a chance to turn the tables.
Even if it was just once, she had to let this person know the power of her, Lady Yae Miko.
The unyielding Yae Miko wanted to do something, but she hadn't considered what punishment she would receive for provoking both Miss Delezie and Raiden Ei at the same time.
